This model uses an Intel Core Ultra 7 Processor 256V, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. It is also

Windows Phone may be long abandoned by Microsoft, but fan developers are still finding ways to keep the platform usable in 2026. A new Telegram client called Vianigram is now in development for Windows Phone. The app is still early, but it already supports several modern Telegram features, which makes it one of the more interesting recent projects for old Lumia devices. The app

TerraTech Legion is now available on Xbox Game Pass, and it gives the survivorlike genre a clever mechanical twist. Instead of simply picking weapons from a menu and watching your character grow stronger, you build your own combat vehicle piece by piece. The game comes from Payload Studios and is available on Xbox Series X/S, Xbox on PC, Steam, and Xbox Cloud Gaming. It

Samsung and SK hynix are reportedly working on different ways to build future DRAM chips as AI demand puts more pressure on the memory market. AI data centers need large amounts of memory, including HBM and advanced DRAM. That demand has tightened supply across the industry and pushed memory makers to find new ways to increase density and performance. The challenge is that DRAM

Microsoft is reportedly working on a new Windows 11 feature that could make apps, menus, and parts of the interface feel much faster. The feature is called Low Latency Profile. It is designed to briefly push your CPU to higher clock speeds when Windows needs quick responsiveness, such as when opening an app, launching the Start menu, or using context menus. The idea is

Skymizer has announced the HTX301, a PCIe AI accelerator card designed to run large language models locally without needing a large GPU cluster. The Taiwan based company says the HTX301 can run inference for 700B parameter models on a single PCIe card.

AMD has introduced the Instinct MI350P, its first PCIe based Instinct accelerator in years. The new card is built for enterprise AI workloads and is designed to fit into standard air cooled servers without requiring a full infrastructure change.

The update fixes 127 vulnerabilities across Chrome. That is more than twice the number fixed in Chrome 147, making this one of the larger recent security updates for the browser. Three of the flaws are rated critical. One is an integer overflow issue in Blink, Chrome’s HTML rendering engine.

Microsoft’s Mark Russinovich recently explained that the Win32 API remains a core part of Windows in 2026. Win32 became widely known during the Windows 95 era, though it also appeared earlier in Windows NT. Today, it still supports many basic desktop functions and remains essential for a huge number of Windows apps. That means when you do simple things like right click a file

The idea is simple. Instead of placing a pointing stick in the middle of a laptop keyboard, the Bean puts a TrackPoint like nub inside a small external device. Around the nub are four Omron D2LS 21 clicky buttons, and the device supports QMK firmware and VIA software for customization. That means the Bean can be used as a mouse, but it can also

The biggest change is leadership. Asha Sharma is now leading Xbox after Phil Spencer’s retirement, and her first steps have focused on rebuilding the basics. Xbox has already seen new console updates, achievement improvements, a Game Pass price cut, and more public discussion about Project Helix, Microsoft’s next generation console and PC hybrid hardware. There are still reasons to be cautious. Xbox faces pressure

Xbox is rolling out its refreshed achievement update to all players after testing it with Insiders in April. The update gives achievements a cleaner look, with new unlock animations and updated icons. The new popup also adapts to your chosen Xbox color scheme, so achievement notifications should feel more consistent with your profile style. The bigger practical change is the ability to hide games

The updated design was shown during a recent Xbox video connected to Microsoft’s GDC presentation.

Sharma, who took over Xbox after Phil Spencer retired in February, has been focused on rebuilding confidence in the brand. Recent moves include achievement improvements, new Xbox experience features, a large Xbox Game Pass price cut, and the end of the broader “Microsoft Gaming” label. During a company wide meeting, Sharma reportedly told Xbox staff that the company needs to be honest about its

The updated design was shown in a recent Xbox video recapping Microsoft’s GDC presentation. The image showed Xbox interfaces running across several devices, including a TV, PC monitor, laptop, and handheld. The layouts are still close to the current Xbox experience, but there are some clear changes. On console and handheld, the main dashboard still shows the recent games and apps carousel. The user

This week’s lineup includes Deadside and CATAN Console Edition. It is a smaller selection than some recent Free Play Days events, but it still gives you two very different games to check out before the promotion ends. Deadside is an open world survival shooter set in a post apocalyptic world. You gather supplies, build bases, and fight AI enemies across the map. The game

Details are still limited, but the report suggests that early information about the studio’s next major Halo project is starting to surface. That makes the timing important, especially after Halo Studios replaced the old 343 Industries branding and began setting up a new direction for the franchise. Halo has been in a strange position for years. Halo Infinite had a strong launch moment, but

Utah residents now face a more complicated online privacy landscape after Senate Bill 73 added new pressure around VPN use and age verification. The law does not ban VPNs. You can still use one for privacy, security, public WiFi protection, remote work, and reducing tracking. The concern is that websites may respond to the law by blocking VPN traffic or asking for more identity

TT Games has shared the PC specs for the upcoming Unreal Engine 5 game, and the minimum requirement lists 1080p at 30 FPS with FSR or XeSS Balanced and Frame Generation enabled. That is unusual because Frame Generation is normally meant to improve an already smooth frame rate, not make a low frame rate barely playable. The concern is that the game may be

CAPCOM’s PRAGMATA has reached more than 2 million copies sold worldwide less than a month after launch. The milestone is a strong result for a new IP that spent years in development before finally arriving on PC and consoles. PRAGMATA had already crossed 1 million sales within its first few days, and its momentum has now carried it past another major mark. CAPCOM also
